Milwaukee Police are searching for the drivers of two cars who were part of a hit-and-run crash that injured a MPD officer.

Two motorcycle cops from MPD’s Neighborhood Task Force were deployed near N. 27th Street and W. Clybourn Street around 9:40 AM Wednesday morning. A vehicle was speeding over the viaduct and approached W. St. Paul Avenue.

Occupants of that car were seen acting suspiciously as they spoke with occupants of a second vehicle. Officers attempted to stop the first car when the second car hit one of the motorcycle officers. Both vehicles fled the scene.

The injured officer was thrown from his motorcycle and transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Surveillance video shows the officer falling off of his motorcycle after being hit by the car and crashing into a building that used to be a daycare.

The injured officer is a 54-year-old man with more than 15 years of service. He is expected to be released later on Wednesday.
